I'm a researcher and community member who collaborates and helps the CDSC in various ways. My research work focuses on the study of operating systems kernel where I work mostly in live patch systems. One of my projects is [https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Elivepatch Elivepatch].

I'm the Gentoo Kernel Project Leader, mainly focused in kernel release automatization.  You can find me at [http://twitter.com/aliceinwire @aliceinwire] or at [http://aliceinwire.net/ www.aliceinwire.net].

Interested in how technology can serve communities of people for good. I see free software as an implicit requirement for this.

I've been working for two years in the University Complutense of Madrid doing data analysis on collaborative online communities (CBPP), more specifically, on wikis. You can see my publications and more info about me in [https://akronix.es/ my homepage].

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science by the UCM and currently I'm enrolled in a Master's Degree of Data Science by the UOC.

Also, I like bikes, nature, hiking, traveling, and sharing my life with beautiful people.

=== Kat Walsh (Creative Commons) ===

I'm a lawyer working in copyright, speech, policy, and nonprofit leadership around various Free and Open projects and communities, currently working with individual clients including Creative Commons. I got into open communities through volunteering for Wikimedia, first as an editor, then in community dispute resolution, and then as a board member for several years. I've also been on the board of the Free Software Foundation. 

I enjoy collaborating with academic researchers on work in peer production communities and their copyright/"intellectual property", dispute resolution, governance, and legal policy issues. I am located just north of San Francisco, where I enjoy playing my bassoon, viola, and occasionally some other things in a delightfully weird collection of musical groups, and lifting heavy objects for no particular reason.

=== Hong Qu ===

I'm a PhD candidate at the  [https://www.networkscienceinstitute.org Network Science Institute] in Northeastern University. I try to analyze and understand how social networks facilite collective action, proprogate beliefs, and influence public opinion. For my Masters degree, I studied HCI and NLP with Professor Marti Hearst at UC Berkeley's School of Information, and developed a passion for user-centered design.

Although I am working with a lot of graph data (and hairball visualizations), I really miss qualitative user research such as contextual inquiry and unstructured interviewers, and hope to conduct more mix methods studies as much as I can in the future.

[[File:WikiCite_2018_DT_-_95.jpg|thumb|Me, asking you the big questions about epistemology and citations]] 
I am your very unofficial librarian! You have official librarians at your respective institutions, but I am happy to be your unofficial one and help if I can. Also, I am a very long term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:Phoebe Wikimedian]. Also, I am a UW iSchool grad, but from a long time ago! 

I'm currently the librarian for computer science, electrical engineering and math at MIT, where I also work with researchers on managing their research data (saving, storing and sharing it) and open access publication. I have been a Wikipedian since 2003, working on English Wikipedia but also other Wikimedia projects. I have also been involved in governance of the Wikimedia Foundation; I served on the Board of Trustees from 2010-2015 and am currently on the board of the Wikimedia Endowment. I have also had a long-time hand in running our annual conference Wikimania as well as lots of other events. I care a lot about [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite citations] and making sure that studies using Wikipedia specify what language version they are studying. Also, I once claimed to know [https://archive.org/details/HowWikipediaWorks How Wikipedia Works], which let's be honest, is a bit of a reach.
